One of the best parts of Spring is hearing and seeing more and more birds return to the area; they are a sure sign of everything coming back to life! Wellfield is so lucky to have Mary Kauffmann-Kennel’s leadership for our monthly bird walks. Mary is an Audubon Society member, Master Naturalist and all-around cool lady. Every month, she leads our bird walks and then enters the birds they see into the eBird online database, which is maintained by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society. More info about eBird can be found by clicking here: eBird

If you are interested in joining in this month’s bird walk, learning more about eBird, or just enjoying a morning walk, join us this Saturday at 8am at the Visitor’s Cottage. The walk is free with your admission to the Gardens. You don’t need to pre-register, but we would appreciate if you did by calling us at 574-266-2006 or online. See you in the Gardens!
